Figure 1 NPY1R Resequencing Strategy and Identified Variants
Sequences conserved between mouse and human neuropeptide Y1 receptors (NPY1R) were visualized with Windows VISTA (Microsoft, Redmond, Washington). Locations of common (minor allele frequency >5%) and rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are indicated. Positions are numbered upstream or downstream of the transcriptional initiation (exon 1) start site. Solid blocks = open reading frame; hatched blocks = untranslated regions (UTRs). PCR = polymerase chain reaction.

Figure 7 NPY1R 3'-UTR Variant A+1050G Occurs in a Micro-RNA Recognition Motif
(A, B) Complementarity between hsa-miR-511 and the NPY1R 3'-UTR site (1034–1055 bp downstream from the NPY1R stop codon), variant (A) versus wild-type (B). The A+1050G SNP is given in bold type. Upper case: maximal scoring alignment region. Lowercase: not part of maximal scoring alignment region. (C, D) Hybridization of miR-155 to the NPY1R mRNA harboring the A (D) or G (C) alleles at A+1050G. Arrows highlight the polymorphic site. Calculated mfe= minimum free energy. Abbreviations as in Figure 1.
